As the sky is painted by morning, forget about the bustle of Kolkata. Until you reach Godkhali Jetty, the entrance to the largest mangrove forest in the world, the journey takes you past charming villages and endless rice farms. You can travel deep into the Sundarbans on a leisurely boat journey, where each creek has a unique storey to tell. Overhead, brahminy kites soar while lunch is served on deck. You see herons balancing on roots and crocodiles lounging as you ascend the Sajnekhali watchtower in the afternoon. You arrive at your jungle lodge as the sun sets. People from the area welcome you with heartfelt songs and tales of Bonbibi, the forest goddess. The forest comes to life under the sky.
